The Nevada DMV has implemented its new Advanced Secure Issuance (ASI) licensing process. You must present the ASI Required Documents for most license or ID transactions, including:
- Original Nevada licenses and ID cards
- Drive Test/Instruction Permit completion
- Name Changes
- Any change in license class, endorsements or restrictions
- Any change to date of birth, Social Security number, sex, etc.
See the ASI Required Documents Tip Sheet (DMV-004).
|
 |
|
Proof of your address is now required.
|
The biggest change with ASI is that the DMV now requires two documents proving Nevada residency. Utility bills, mortgage statements, rental agreements and a bank statement with the correct residential address are all acceptable.
See Address Changes if you are completing an address change only. You must present two documents to show your residential address. Duplicate licenses have slightly less stringent requirements. You may renew your license or ID card one time without complying with ASI.
We do not make appointments for any services other than a driving skills test. |
|
Please complete the application and other forms before you go to the DMV.
All existing Nevada licenses and ID cards will be accepted for federal purposes at least through their expiration. Please do not visit a DMV office only to receive an ASI license.
